ok well i remember about 4 years ago i was playing Crystal and i remembered to get the egg from the daycare man late, so i go back to get it and the pokemon that came out was a shiny Magby, sadly i thought my game was broken and turned it off. than a couple days ago i was playing it and the egg was a shiny magby again. yay! This time i had known not to turn off.
i thought it was pretty funny looking back...

Hmm...On my first Gold I caught the Gyarados, but everyone has that one.

On my Crystal (which I have sadly lost), I had the Gyarados of course, and while randomly running around the Forest after Azelea and before GoldenRod, I found a Shiny Caterpie. I knew what shinies were, and caught it. The very next day, I ran into a Shiny Magnemite. I caught it too and those three shinies ended up being my lvl 30 Battle Tower Team. Not a good team, but they were shiny.

As for my current Silver (which works fine) I have the retarded Gyarados, which only knows Mimic and Leer (can anyone guess what Glitch I tried?) I only have one transfer pak, and my retarded Silver won't let me move the Shiny Ditto to the game cartridge (some bullcrap of having to catch 150 types...Pokemon Stadium 2 is weird.)

I'm hoping (as soon as I can move my all Kanto team from Silver to Red) to Restart Silver and SR for a shiny Cyndaquil.

One time I was six and I was playing crystal. Then while I was hatching an egg, a shiny Snubble appears! too bad I had no idea what shinies were, so I killed it>.< and I always killed the red gyarados (its like a tradition, a bad tradition):

I am very excited, during the bug catching challenge I came upon a shiny Scyther, even though I only did get 2nd place in the contest, I ended up with my first shiny in my Gold Game, yea I did pass up the chance to get the lake of rage Gyarados.

The only other shiny I got besides the Gyrados was a shiny Bellsprout on that patch of grass surrounded by water.(Right of Mahogany Town) I couldn't catch it because I didn't have any pokeballs with me. :/

Here's the pokemon I caught on S/G/C (that were shiny)
Kakuna
Raikou
Koffing
Ghastly
Miltank
Skarmory
Shuckle
and Dratini
Pokemon I did not catch due to running out of pokeballs, didn't know what it was and a few other things:
Ho-oh
Lugia
Onix
Heracross
Qwilfish
Rattata
Pidgey
Geodude
Entei
Abra
Caterpie
Wooper
Horsea
Tentacool
and Ditto

Same here!
I've been trying for a shiny Lugia for 16 days in a row now with no success
According to my calculations I SR'ed more than 10.000 times, it's frustrating but I won't give up that easily. Good luck to everyone trying their shinies!

we all today's my second day, I don't think I've done more than 400 SRs anyway...how do yoou cont your SR's?

Let's see who finds one first =D How long do you guys SRers take to find a shiny?

OMG!!!! I had just posted about the Lugia, and I look down to my old cracked GB and I see a pink-bellied Lugia! And I'm certain no more than 400 SR!! ^^

Sorry TobiasBR, i know this'll frustreate you even more...

That's so nice! Congratz!
No, it won't frustrate me, don't worry, I feel happy when people find shinies, even though when I might want them so bad, and if you think, you were lucky because you deserved! Take good care of it, I'll keep trying mine and see what happens.

On my Crystal the very first Pokemon I caught after I got my first pokeballs was a shiny Sentret. I remember how excited I was to find it, in all its purpleness. I have never found another shiny in any of my games since.
